Answer:

x = -19/5

Explanation:

-8 = 3-5(x+6)

Distribute.

-8 = 3-5x-30

Combine like terms.

-8 = -27-5x

Add 27 on both sides.

-8 = -27-5x

+27 +27

19 = -5x

Divide by -5 on both sides.

19 = -5x

/-5 /-5

-19/5 = x

Hope this helps you a little bit! Sorry if it get confusing...have an amazing day c:

Let's solve your equation step by step

-8=3-5(x+6)

Step 1: simplify both sides of the equation

-8=3-5(x+6)

-8=3+(-5)(x)+(-5(6) (distribute)

-8=3+-5x+-30

-8=(-5x)+(3+-30) (combine like terms)

-8=-5x+-27

-8=-5x-27

Step 2: flip the equation

-5x-27=-8

Step 3: add 27 to both sides

-5x-27+27=-8+27

-5x=19

Step 4: Divide both sides by -5

-5x/-5 = 19/-5

Answer : x= -19/5
